DITCH YOUR CAR

RIDE YOUR BIKE

Inspiring people to get out of their cars, and onto bikes.

RIDE YOUR BIKE ZINE!

The pocket-sized zine with pocket-sized stories about all things bicycle related.

Issue #3 out now!

order from our store!

We are bicycle commuters

and adventurers, and bicycle dilly-dalliers, but mostly we are here to have fun on bicycles. 

We want you to lose your keys, ditch your cars, and go places by bike.

Bikes move us around, they make us smile, laugh, and sometimes they make us use bad words. Bicycles make us feel a gambit of emotions, and that’s what our stories are about.

Our stories are more than just crushing miles and winning medals, trophies and podiums. They’re about everyday bicycle things and people. They are about adventures that hit our hearts and souls.

Funny, witty, sarcastic, dirty, gritty, grungy. They are stories that are inspirational, adorable, makes you wanna hug and kiss the next person you see.  

They make you want to grab a bike and ride to the grocery store, a friends house, or the bar. Or to a cool camp spot, across the country, bring your bike on a train and travel across the world.


Whatever it is that inspires you to ditch your car and ride your bike.

Read.

SUBMISSIONS

We’re interested in anything bikes. Tell us why you love riding, why you love your bicycle.

Tell us about an adventure you went on, or a particular ride that had an incredible view.

Bikes shape us into who we are. How have they been there through good times and bad?

Biking is more than just pushing pedals. It’s a way of life, or something that changes the way we move, the way we think, and often help us see things in a whole different way.

Use bad words, get on your soapbox, declare your love for our two-wheeled contraption that makes us feel oh-so-good.

-Around 600 - 800 word essays
